About the Property

3/2 on Gulf of Mexico facing Little McPherson Bayou

Welcome to Historic Pass-A-Grille Beach, Homesteaded 1886, the Key West of St. Pete Beach. My wife and I welcome you and yours to our special home away from home. This is our family's longtime beach condo getaway. We are the owners and invite you to share the rich experience Historic Pass-A-Grille Beach has to offer. Pass-A-Grille is a rare jewel located at the southernmost tip of St. Pete Beach. Our beach retreat is a sea shell's throw south of the Don CeSar Hotel, a grand pink castle locals refer to as 'the Don'. The location is unique having access to the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway via Little McPherson Bayou. Here you will have the best of both worlds, a view of the marina, pool and bayou water activity yet steps from the beautiful private white sand beach of Pass-A-Grille. Waking up in the master to a Bayou sunrise and walking on the pristine beach early morning are priceless. My favorite routine is to go down to Merry Pier, grab a seat at the seawall to watch the sun come up and enjoy the bustle of people activity as the day unfolds. Afterwards I would highly recommend the Sea Horse for breakfast and a slow walk around Historic 8th Ave Business District.

Our condo is 1455 sq. ft. not including a good size L-shaped shaded balcony. Click on the Location/Map tab and zoom in using the Satellite view. Our condo is located within a multi-unit Gulf of Mexico beach side building, on the East end of that building with views of Little McPherson Bayou, the marina and pool across Pass-A-Grille Way. The condo was professionally remodeled in 2014 by Van Selow Design Build. Almost everything, and I really mean everything, was replaced new. As the pictures show my wife has very good taste and style. The kitchen granite is Bora Bora, also called Wild Sea. Our place has an earthy look and feel of being at home on the beach. The cabinets are Boulder being more green grey then brown like the pictures. The back-splash is Mosaic glass named 'Jive' which just happens to match a picture on the kitchen wall named 'Island Jive'. Even the dinnerware matches the back-splash perfectly as if they were meant to be together. The main flooring is porcelain planked tile with a woody texture and white wash in color similar to driftwood called Mood Wood. The master bedroom is nautical in style yet simple. The sleepy blue paint will do just that. The headboard was made by good ole' Dad attempting to get in touch with his feminine side. It has soft remote lighting behind the shutters that you just have to experience yourself. 'Are you picking up what I'm putting down?', as my son would say. You have views of 'the Don', pool, marina and bayou with the night view being the best. The master bath is to die for with a large shower, bench and rainfall water jet panel. The middle bedroom has a woman's touch and was claimed by my daughter who told my son 'sorry bro'. The front bedroom is the fun room for the young at heart. The guest bath is bright and beachy with sparkling quartz.

Our retreat has what you will need to relax, unwind and truly enjoy your stay.

Condo Amenities:

Private L-shaped shaded balcony, you won't see your neighbors and they won't see you.

LED lighting throughout, with dim-able where needed, the 'mood' thing.

Coffer-ed ceiling with LED rope lighting in bathrooms, for the mood and it won't wake you up more than needed.

Five ceiling fans to cool your sunburn.

A good size master shower and a full tub in the guest for the little ones.

Three walk-in closets and hall storage with a wine cooler and stuff for the beach.

Commercial size washer and dryer, stay away from those.

Two wall-mounted 47" 3D HDTVs and two wall-mounted 32" HDTVs.

Weber electric grill that cooks great and a new Jawbone BIG Jambox.

As far as outside, well it's a condominium complex with common areas. You will have 2 over-sized dedicated shaded parking spaces, a beautiful newly renovated large pool with shade, fans and bathrooms overlooking the marina & bayou. There are private slips in the marina yet it is a common area so you can fish from anywhere along it's 500 ft. length. Slip 1 on the north end, facing the Don is ours and from the 45 ft. finger walk named Abbie Pier you can enjoy fishing. Key-less security access to the condo, beach gate, pool and elevator, freedom from keys! Best of all, you have me, your 'go-to single-point-of-contact'. I'm here to please. How's that for service!

Activities and attractions, this would depend on what you like to do. Myself, go boating, fishing or sit on the beach with a big hat and a cold one. It's your choice. For local ideas search the web using Pass-A-Grille, especially images. Some of my family's favorites close by are Fort DeSoto, Egmont and Shell Key which have island shuttle service. Merry Pier and Historic 8th Ave Business District are some of my favorite hangouts. The sights, food, shopping, night life, events, art and especially the people make this place the top of my list. There is far more here than meets the eye, on the internet or anything I may be able to tell you. Give yourself a few days to walk around slowly exploring and taking it all in.

About the owner: Hi, we are the owners, Steve and Stephanie Sloan. We grew up in Tampa, Florida, met at the beach, married and built a home in Lutz where we currently live with our two children and two dogs.

Why the Owner Chose Pass-a-Grille Beach, Saint Pete Beach, FL, USA: We absolutely love our beach condo getaway in Pass-A-Grille because it's close to where we live, the perfect property location on both the Gulf of Mexico and Little McPherson Bayou, neighborhood charm and especially the local people.

The Unique Benefits at this Condo: Pass-A-Grille has a certain 'vibe', unlike the mainstay tourist locations, which will make you feel more at home, allow you to decompress and get on "island time".
